SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Note. Self-diagnostic tests are written specifically for Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB). If using a generic scan tool, ensure it is OBD-II certified. A generic scan tool may not be capable of performing all necessary test functions. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL), also known as CHECK ENGINE light can be used, but has limited diagnostic capability.

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

If no faults were found while performing appropriate BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed with self-diagnostics. Always perform a visual inspection before attempting to diagnose engine control system problems. See VISUAL INSPECTION under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. Retrieve DTCs. See RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.

VISUAL INSPECTION

Most driveability problems in the engine control system result from faulty wiring, poor electrical connections, improper wire routing, or leaking air and vacuum hose connections. Inspect all engine control system components, hoses, connectors and wiring for damage before proceeding with system testing.

RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. When using Chrysler's Diagnostic Readout Box (DRB-III) scan tool, the scan tool will be to identify or display all DTCs for system diagnosis. When using generic scan tool, it will be necessary to use Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on instrument panel and generic scan tool to retrieve Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Not all DTCs can be retrieved using generic scan tool and MIL. When using MIL to retrieve DTCs, some DTCs have more than one meaning. The MIL is unable to distinguish between different failures for a specified component. For example, there are 4 different possible failures for the downstream oxygen sensor system, but the MIL can only identify a downstream oxygen sensor failure by flashing a DTC 21, but the scan tool will be able to distinguish between the different failures.

Note. When using generic scan tool, scan tool is not able to identify all possible DTCs. As an example, generic scan tool may not be able to identify or display a DTC for a malfunctioning A/C clutch relay circuit or A/C pressure sensor, but these DTCs will be displayed by the MIL.

CLEARING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Turn ignition off. Turn ignition on and follow scan tool screen prompts to erase Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).

INACTIVE TROUBLE CODE CONDITION

This procedure applies if you have been sent here from diagnostic tests and have just attempted to simulate the condition that initially set the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). The following additional checks may assist in identifying a possible intermittent problem

  1. Visually inspect related wiring harness connectors for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals.
  2. Visually inspect related wiring harnesses for chafed, pierced or partially broken wires.
  3. Check all pertinent Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs).

SELF-DIAGNOSTIC TESTS

CAUTIONWhen battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN PROCEDURES article in GENERAL INFORMATION before disconnecting battery.

Note. Both Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and a scan tool must be used to effectively diagnose this system. Before diagnosing an engine performance problem, see SELF-DIAGNOSTICS under INTRODUCTION to understand diagnostic system functions and abilities.

Note. For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION. In the following self-diagnostic tests, illustrations are courtesy of Chrysler Corp.

CHECKING SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES

Note. Ensure battery is fully charged before proceeding with test.

  1. Attempt to start engine. Crank engine for up to 10 seconds (if necessary). Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) may be retrieved using scan tool or Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on instrument panel.
  2. If using MIL on instrument panel to check for DTCs, see RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES proper procedure. Read DTC code flashed by the MIL.
  3. If using scan tool to check for DTCs, connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). For Data Link Connector (DLC) location see scheme 1 Using scan tool manufacturer's instructions, read DTC message and code.
  4. If scan tool displays NO RESPONSE, go to TEST NS-6A. If scan tool will not power up, check for loose cable connections or bad cable. If cable connections and cable are okay, check voltage at cavity No. 16 on 16-pin DLC. Voltage should be at least 11 volts. If voltage is not as specified, check wiring circuit and necessary fuses. See appropriate wiring diagram in «WIRING DIAGRAMS - 2.5L»(ref-24823) article in ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
  5. If scan tool displays an error message, (i.e.; USER-REQUESTED COLD BOOT or USER-REQUESTED WARM BOOT), follow scan tool manufacturer's instructions. If scan tool displays a BUS failure (i.e. SHORT TO BATTERY), this indicates either a scan tool failure or BUS failure. To diagnose and correct BUS failures, see VEHICLE COMMUNICATIONS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT section.
  6. If DTCs are displayed, see DTC MESSAGES & CODES table and perform appropriate test(s). If no DTCs are displayed, refer to one of the following: For Driveability problems, perform TEST NTC-1A. For No-Start problems, perform TEST NS-SEL. For Speed (Cruise) Control problems, perform TEST SC-1A. See appropriate CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEMS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. For Charging system problems, perform TEST CH-1A. See GENERATORS & REGULATORS article in STARTING & CHARGING SYSTEMS.

Note. Some Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) have more than one meaning. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is unable to distinguish between different failures. As an example, there are several different failures possible for the oxygen sensor (O2S) system, MIL can only identify an O2S failure by flashing a DTC 21. MIL is capable of displaying all possible system failures.

Note. A scan tool may not be able to identify all possible Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). As an example, a scan tool may not be able to identify or display a DTC for a malfunctioning A/C clutch relay circuit. There are several DTCs which a scan tool cannot identify. The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) must be used to identify these malfunctions.
